Hi everyone,
It was cool and rainy here today so I worked on doing some little touches inside. I think little touches can make a big difference. So,I thought I would share a few new touches in our bedroom.
I know some of you have seen our bedroom before but I think I mentioned that I was having trouble finding fabric to match the gold and rusty colored toile wallpaper.
So,as luck would have it I found some toile that I had used on a table on the veranda one summer that had faded from red to rust so I was able to make the pillow shams with it.
Then I found the pillow in the background at a thrift shop.
I also found the chenille type bedspread that is a golden color there.
The two small pillows I made awhile ago from a dress from the thrift shop also.
Thank you so much for visiting me and next time I will show you our fireplace makeover.
Take care,
Carolyn

Make do and mend is such a lovely idea but I've had to grow in it. Actually, I've been forced into it. =] But, it is so fun when I realize that I had treasure - the perfect thing - right under my nose all of the time! I ESPECIALLY love it when I find a bargain!
Your rooms are really beautiful - so soothing! I always wonder if people are really interested in my interior decorating but I am surely inspired and encouraged from seeing yours.
Thanks for sharing!
Love, Katy Noelle
Goodness...How beautiful
Such soft, dreamy colors.
Almost would want to spend the whole day there!

Dear Carolyne,
your bedroom is a dream, so cozy and relaxing.The colors you've choosen there are perfect and involving. I really love it and I wonder when my home will be "full" of all the things I need to sorround me with. We have moved 3 months ago to our new home and, as you can imagine,it will take some (a lot) more time to get to the final result...well...final,I think there is never a final result,I am always evolving, as you are I think!A nice day to you dear Carolyn.Francesca
Fabulous and beautiful, Carolyn. A most welcoming and charming bedroom. I'm madly in love with your sheer canopy. I am trying to figure out how to do it in our bedroom! :) Thanks so much for a lovely treat.

Delightful Carolyn and how lucky to have such finds in a thrift shop too.
just what I needed to feast my eyes on after a morning of digging out yet more Ground Elder.
Every time I see your photos I drool as my jaw drops. Somehow you always blow me away with your taste for beauty, elegance, and simple cozy comfort. Perfection!!!
Lovely touches, Carolyn! The bedroom is so inviting and restful.
Blessings,
Sandi
I so love the bedspread and reminds me of my youth as I use to trace the patterns done in the spread.
Great matching as this blends well my dear. B&B's have nothing over you.
with love,
Olivia
Carolyn - you are a decorating whiz!! I need to let you come roam through my house - your creative eye and your sewing skills would come in very handy :) Heck, you might as well walk through the flower beds too - but I'm not sure I want all that weeding . . .
It's beautiful. I like the photo reflected through the mirow.How I would love a bedroom with so many windows.
We actually celebrated our 50th with a party but still cashing in some gifts.
Comment did not post so trying again. It is all so beautiful. I particularly like the photo reflected through the mirror. How I would love a bedroom with so many windows.
We celebrated our 50th with a party in December. Just still cashing in some gifts. One still to go, a stay in a hotel on the beach.
Very nice. What a lovely romantic bedroom. xx

Dear Carolyn,
Very well done! That makes a nest for reading and for romance or lazy mornings with breakfast in bed!
The fabric and color coordinating selections work very well; very soothing to the eye as well.
The crochet-edged doily on the tray is a rosy darling too...
